EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print, titled "Conception of the Antichrist" takes us back to the 15th century German School. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was reproduced in Eduard Fuchs' renowned book "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte von Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart" (Illustrated History of Manners from the Middle Ages to the Present), published around 1910. In this intriguing illustration, we witness a scene filled with symbolism and religious undertones. A couple lies on a bed adorned with exquisite furnishings, representing an era that blends elements from both the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The man and woman are surrounded by demonic figures, suggesting temptation and vice lurking in their midst. The image explores themes of faith, sexuality, legend, and Christian values. It delves into the belief systems prevalent during that time period while also highlighting historical perspectives on masculinity and femininity. As we gaze upon this piece from the early 20th century perspective, it serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time to provoke contemplation about our own beliefs and societal norms. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable work for us to appreciate its historical significance today.
